Another bizarre but great episode. This really turned out to be one of favourite anime this season, I hope it keeps up with the "plot" coming in next season. Which reminds me one of the worst attributes of the lead director's previous works... story consistency. He pulled excellent and captivating introduction and build-up, but messed up the resolution. But to his defense that might have been a problem of other staff members, and his current ones work out the coming plot better.

EDIT: That bespectacled girl in ep. 12 was very cute

EDIT2: The teacher is the same from Houjou's school and the same in the phone-calls

It's summer time. Nobunaga Oda befriends a highschool girl named Area. They spend each other talking and they even go to hot springs, while a mysterious sniper named Senjuro Sugitani is spying on them for past reasons. Next episode will focuses on three new warlords.

Characters come and go in this show. That's the nature of anthologies. But it's all still in the same universe, so even if things aren't explicitly overlapping, they're still intersecting. It makes for an interesting house-of-cards approach to the whole thing. In one episode, Ageha has become one of this show's most memorable characters. A country girl with her eyes set on world domination, a modern day freeter with a strong yuri streak (and other kinds of streaks.) That she managed to woo both Nobunaga and Sugi really shows her natural people skills.

The assassination attempts were decent physical comedy, and the Treasure subplot did surface again, but above all this episode stands out for its incredibly high yuri content. And there's been quite a few of those already. Even if Ageha is never heard from again, maybe she can make a cameo, bringing more of the samurai into her fold. It was a really great episode overall. Since every episode is named after a character (or group of characters), I think the show will continue being an anthology all the way up to the end. But that doesn't mean it can't be connected.

The episode introduces three new heroines named Isami Kondo, Toshizo Hijikata and Souji Okita : the former is depicted as a big-breasted woman, the middle is a young swordgirl and the latter is a sickly girl who recently suffers a terrible tuberculose. Nonetheless, they have fun together, ranging from bathing together to playing social games together, followed by a rather ridiculous healing dinner. This is a slight nice change for the story, as it doesn't only depict Sengoku warlords, they also introduces some historical figures of the other kind, and on the other hand, I always enjoy a good episodic show like this. Next episode focuses on rather interesting and lighthearted ghost stories.

We've hit the second half... and the same stride as the first continues. There's enough new characters in the new OP and ED to fill the second half easily, though Nobunaga's rival for the final battle is being pretty unsubtly foreshadowed. Nobunaga herself, though, is nowhere to be found this week. A pure slice of life episode, with bathing, games and dinner. Episodes like this rely on the strength of the characters, and on that note, I think it did a fine enough job. The multitude of uses for a sword was amusing, and Souji provided a nice foil to the other two. And once again, anything that involves boob touching is pretty okay with me. Even if the hot springs water hid what makes a breast a breast, the squishiness and slickness can't be denied. The second half is off and running.

So naturally, we go from slice of life to horror. Let the genre roulette wheel spin!

I liked the episode 14, the new opening is great and Mitsuhide are perceived in the opening ...? oO what it was in the first episode Nobunaga In back? is what could have hope to see in this second part of the anime the vassal of date masamune? xD

I wonder how she'll compare to Eri Kitamura's version of Mitsuhide. Or Sayuri Yahagi's in the upcoming Oda Nobuna. The historical baseline is the same, but seeing how each series interprets the character slightly differently is part of the fun.
